Editor's review
A slightly more street version of DJ Shadow, 2Tall blends turntablism with breaks and strange samples, challenging both himself and his audience with his unconventional setup of two turntables, Boss Loop Station sampler pedal CDs and the Akai MPC. If that just sounds like nerd jargon to you, let's just say 2Tall stands outside the "just a DJ" realm.

“DJ 2Tall has a hard time when filling in his occupation on forms. To put ‘DJ’ would be a little restrictive. ‘DJ and turntable musician’ would be part of the way there, as 2Tall is most at home when exploring the creative abilities of manipulating sound with the decks.” – Blues & Soul Magazine
